June 2021 edit
Hello, I'm JPxG. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. jp×g 06:42, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

- Hi Lostsandwich, this is simply informational since you are a new user and may not be aware of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I will leave you some additional information about editing Wikipedia. I also suggest reading WP:Vandalism as Wikipedia has specific definition as what vandalism is and what it is not. Calling an edit vandalism when it is not can be construed as casting aspersions. To be clear, this is not a judgement but guidance. S0091 (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
@S0091: The adjusted changes meet the criteria outlined in the linked article, quoting for emphasis; "without any regard to our core content policies of neutral point of view" and "verifiability". Further evidence is given in justification for the original edits where the terms "phony hacks" and "far left propaganda" are used- as I already indicated in my edit notes.
- Violating npov and verifiability generally are not vandalism, outside of WP:BLP violations (npov can be tricky even for blps). That's all. Like I said, my messages are not in judgement, just guidance. If you find them unhelpful, per WP:BLANKING, you are welcome to removed them. I do suggest reading this guide on using talk pages (there is a certain format to follow, specifically WP:INDENT. Some editors are particular about it). Other than that, glad you are looking out for content that violates policy, etc. S0091 (talk) 22:47, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- {{reply to|S0091}The stated justification for the edit, which was "...it demonstrates conclusively what type of disreputable phony bunch of hacks that they are rather than a reputable medical association just like these reversions confirm what a far left propaganda site wikipedia has become" meets the linked criteria for vandalism. It is not simple contrarianism, but as per the guidelines " deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose" as it acts "without any regard to our core content policies of neutral point of view (which does not mean no point of view), verifiability and no original research, is a deliberate attempt to damage Wikipedia". Before editing I ensured it met and followed the identifying steps and it was clearly identified as bad faith edit. Lostsandwich (talk) 23:34, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
Defacing Ottoman battle articles edit
Hi, just I would like to show it is the same edit war pattern, possible by the same users: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Keremmaarda
These users (or this sockpuppet user) always edit only the info boxes, rewrite many Ottoman battle articles to Ottoman victory, or if Ottoman lost he rewrite like "Ottomans just went home from a "picnic" due to the bad weather", he decrease always the number of Ottoman army and casualties while he always increase the number of enemy and their casualties. Even he rewrote the the famous Siege of Belgrade was just a pyrrhic Hungarian victory (which stopped the Ottomans for 70 years) and he rewrote the Turks won the battle. He always remove modern academic sources and replace it with 200-500 years sources with bad referencing stlye that hard to check if true of twisted.
